Wetlands of the Prairie Pothole Region: Invertebrate species composition, ecology, and management Wetlands of the Prairie Pothole Region: Invertebrate species composition, ecology, and management
The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of the United States and Canada is a unique area where shallow depressions created by the scouring action of Pleistocene glaciation interact with mid-continental climate variations to create and maintain a variety of wetland classes. These wetlands possess unique environmental and biotic characteristics that add to the overall regional diversity and...

Effects of management practices on grassland birds: Wilson's Phalarope Effects of management practices on grassland birds: Wilson's Phalarope
Information on the habitat requirements and effects of habitat management on grassland birds were summarized from information in more than 4,000 published and unpublished papers. A range map is provided to indicate the relative densities of the species in North America, based on Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data. Although birds frequently are observed outside the breeding range indicated...

Wood duck brood movements and habitat use on prairie rivers in South Dakota Wood duck brood movements and habitat use on prairie rivers in South Dakota
Wood duck (Aix sponsa) populations have been increasing in the Central Flyway, but little is known about wood duck brood rearing in prairie ecosystems. We compared movements and habitat use of radiomarked female wood ducks with broods in South Dakota on 2 rivers with contrasting prairie landscapes. The perennial Big Sioux River had a broad floodplain and riparian forest, whereas the...

Foods of American badgers in west-central Minnesota and southeastern North Dakota during the duck nesting season Foods of American badgers in west-central Minnesota and southeastern North Dakota during the duck nesting season
Although the American badger (Taxidea taxus) is common in grasslands and preys on a wide diversity of foods including birds, little is known about badger diet in areas where nesting ducks are common. Small mammals, primarily Muridae and Geomyidae, were the most common food items in the diet of badgers collected from west-central Minnesota and southeastern North Dakota during April-July...

Survival of postfledging mallards in northcentral Minnesota Survival of postfledging mallards in northcentral Minnesota
Effective, economical management of waterfowl populations requires an understanding of age-, sex-, and cause-specific forces of mortality. We used radio telemetry to estimate survival rates of immature mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) from fledging to autumn migration in northcentral Minnesota. We monitored 48 females and 42 males during 1972-74 and observed 31 deaths during 2,984 exposure...
